On first blush, #trumpVanderson decision by #SCOTUS is rather more obviously #partisan and #corrupt than the #DredScottDecision.
It exactly displays the logical and moral #bankruptcy of the #RobertsCourt. Three members of the majority were appointed by the appellant, and a fourth has more #COI than Niigata. #Recusal? Perish the thought!
The "unanimous"—but unsigned—decision was originally based on a dissension. Every jurist has compromised their record.
Excellent! Awaiting Biden's signature right now:
S.5229 - A bill to direct the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to remove the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the Capitol and to obtain a bust of Thurgood Marshall for installation in the Capitol or on the Capitol Grounds, and for other purposes.
